Student Dialogues - Aromatherapy and Numbness

Student Work: Aromatherapy for numb fingers: An oil would be good to rub on the hand, fingers and wrist. It cold be carried with him and used as needed. I would use Roman Chamomile (muscle pain), Coriander (circulation), Lemon (CNS stimulant) and Pine (circulation). With the ability to keep it with him at all times, he could use it as needed.

My Feedback: A salve might be better than an oil – if one uses an oil they might be less likely to use it because it would just be “too oily” and take a while to absorb into the skin. My son does not like oils for this reason so we make him salves or add oils to base salves or creams already available on the market. You can make a nice simple salve by melting 1 TBS. of beeswax (grated) into 5 TBS. of oil and then adding some essential oils to it right before it starts to solidify.

STUDENT LETTER: Positive Reflexology Experience

Just a note to let you know, I did a reflexology session on my mother in law when she was having a migraine, after she did not have a headache and was able to go about her day.......I was so impressed. I love this class. - JC

Dear JC,
Thank you for sharing that with me! The other day my son had slept wrong on his neck and I did a quick session on him and he could move his neck again! I love using reflexology on my own family. I am so thankful for it and I love to hear other people's stories too!

Blessings & Health,
Kristie
